Good luck to all of our brothers and sisters out in the UK!!!!
The law will force internet providers to record every internet customer's top-level web history in real-time for up to a year, which can be accessed by numerous government departments; force companies to decrypt data on demand -- though the government has never been that clear on exactly how it forces foreign firms to do that that; and even disclose any new security features in products before they launch.
Not only that, the law also gives the intelligence agencies the power to hack into computers and devices of citizens (known as equipment interference), although some protected professions -- such as journalists and medical staff -- are layered with marginally better protections.

Time to figure out how to get more secure than TOR. With great need comes great innovation. We'll see the next big infosec surge soon.

UK population approx 65M let's say half use the internet. I don't think hey have enough employees or time to spy on 32M people's history

Not saying it's okay, it's not. But I'm not worried. Not enough time in the world for everyone's history to be spied on.
